<p><em>In reply to <a href="https://csn.cancer.org/comment/1184051#comment-1184051">I have Stage 2</a></em></p>
<div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>I hope your side affects have eased up for you this last month. My husband is one year and 5 months away from the surgeries for his complete gastrectomy. He has had a variety of side affects, the worst being nausea and exhaustion/weakness. He did have sensitivity to cold for awhile, but nothing that affected his breathing. Currently, he is working on gaining back the weight that he lost during radiation/chemo treatment that ended in August of 2011. He has gained a little over 13 pounds since then, eating 5 small meals that for him don't start until around 3pm when he begins to get hungry. He does not drink any beverage with his meal as he has experienced the dumping syndrome which is not comfortable for him at all. He hasn't stopped eating any of his favorite foods...thank you God!!! The thought of that upset him quite a bit!!<br />

<div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>I have Stage 2 adenocarcinoma. I started chemo on Nov. 28 with 3 different kinds of chemo. I wear a pump 24/7. I had 3 big rounds of chemo and then I have the pump for 2 more weeks. They will decide on surgery at that point. After I re-coop from surgery, I will have 3 more rounds of chemo and the pump. I am interested in the surgery and any side effects your husband may have had. I am a 71 year old lady that has never been sick a day in her life. I am the caretaker of my husband so this has been a complete shock for us both. This week I got my first mouth sores. I am using the paste in my mouth and pills. Hopefully that will help as they are painful. I have had a easy time with the chemo until last week and I am so tired now and then the mouth sores. Any info you have about the suregery and your husbands regiman. Thank you.</p></div></div></div><ul class="links inline"><li class="comment_forbidden first last"><span><a href="/user/login?destination=node/234210%23comment-form">Log in</a> or <a href="/user/register?destination=node/234210%23comment-form">register</a> to post comments</span></li>
